A hot body pressed over him, and Bai Lixin heard Dijia’s voice suppressed with anger, “Don’t come and mess with me again. Get out. Do you hear me?”
He descended alone with a mission in mind but this strange and hostile world left him at a loss. He could easily see into the hearts of others; black with malice at heart, blue with cunning, pink with good intentions. And when descending into the world, the Lord God, as well as the secondary gods who greeted him, were all black or blue.
It was surprising that these gods, who maintained the order of the world, would be so repulsed by his arrival.
At the dinner that night, he was bored with his wine on the dais when he was suddenly attracted by a blazing golden light at the gate.
The kind and warm glow emanated from Eros.
He could not help but look at Eros a few more times before he was discovered by the Lord God beside him. Sure enough, when he asked to visit the Realm, the cunning Lord God let them go together.
Sitting on the flying horse, Eros’ hand came into his arms so naturally and unrestrainedly that he did not resent it, even though he stopped it. He could see the glow of kindness from his soul out of the corner of his eye, even as he sat in front.
But suddenly, the light from the corner of his eye faded violently, and the next thing he knew, he was attacked.
Landing firmly on the ground, he looked up to see that the warm glow emanating from Eros had changed to a rich, dark green – the colour of disgust.
Disgust? Even Eros’s eyes were adorned with disgust as if he was a toad who wanted to eat a white swan. Heh, worthy of being a god of love. Even his inner feelings could be changed and released with ease.
He was pleasant to him. He was respectful in front of the cunning Lord God, but he went back to his original self when they left the temple. He was so treacherous that he was worthy of being a god of love.
After driving Eros away with lightning, he flew aimlessly and came to this tribe. It was backward but sincere enough. What they say they hate, it showed was green. When they say they like it, what emanates is pink.
Dijia already felt like an outsider to this world, so he simply stayed in the tribe since he did not want to return to the San Tuo Mountain.
It was not long before this god of love stuck to him again like a plaster.
Only this time, he appeared with endless goodwill emanating from within once again. A pure gold.
Two months together, inner colouring aside, the kindness the God of love showed him was unprecedented.
He was resourceful, brave, and unlike the lofty gods who were greedy for wealth and pleasure. Needless to say; everyone
in the tribe could see that Xin was very close to him; a closeness that was not that of a brother or a shallow affinity between a man and a woman, but more like a closeness that saw the other as the only one.
It was a look that fascinated him, that made him want to follow Xin’s figure, to make him look at him more often.
It was a look that reminded him of the second time they had met in the Great Hall. Xin had looked at him with that same look, a look of nostalgia and earnestness.
Nostalgia? Who was he nostalgic for through him?
His gold was open for another?
Finally, he decided to confess to Xin, to tell him that he had known who he was for a long time and to tell him that if he wanted to, he would try to be with him even if he was only a substitute.
If he could, he would even do everything he could to continue his life with the forbidden arts.
Yet the conversation was only halfway through when the colour of Xin’s heart, which had unburdened him, changed again, to a more intense dark green.
Ah, this man still really loathed him.
The inner colour had changed so drastically that the conversation could no longer go on.
Xin looked around in disgust and ran away, leaving his fallen self behind.
But now the god of love, whom he thought had fled back to Yaqin Mountain, barged into his sight on his steed with even more fierceness.
Dijia gazed down at Bai Lixin on the stone table, his dark eyes fixed on the blazing gold within him, making him want to come closer.
“Haven’t you tricked me enough?”
Bai Lixin stretched out his arm and put it around Dijia’s neck, saying, “Although you may not believe me, I haven’t tricked you. My actions were the same as my heart. Even the old man could see that I was madly infatuated with you. He even made space for us and deliberately walked away.”
Bai Lixin took Dijia’s hand and placed it over his heart, “Listen to my heart. It’s blazing and beating, all for you. I never see you when I’m missing someone else. I’m just thinking about you. ”
Beneath his hand was the sound of a rapidly beating heart, a heart that thumped at the same rate as his.
Bai Lixin’s hand around Dijia’s neck strengthened, and with the force, he lifted his body and pressed his lips to Dijia’s.
Both bodies trembled at the same time, unable to help but want to embrace each other. It was a long time before the two parted in the darkness.
They had gradually grown accustomed to the darkness, and Bai Lixin smiled gently as he tried to press himself close to Dijia again.
But just as he was about to touch Dijia’s lips, there was a sudden blackness before his eyes. He was surprised to find that Eros had taken over the body at the most crucial moment.
The lips were only a few millimetres away from being kissed when Eros’ inner colour changed violently to green again.
Dijia paused abruptly and turned his head sideways, and Eros ended up kissing him on the cheek.
In the darkness, Dijia heard an unfamiliar voice, “Why do you avoid me, Successor Lord God? I love you.”
The moon was obscured by dark clouds, and the room was plunged into darkness once more. Dijia could not see the eyes or expression of the man beneath him, but his voice made him shudder.
He suddenly realised that the man with the dark green aura and the Xin with the golden aura were not the same soul at all? The aura emanating from them was radically different! They were two completely different souls!
Not only did they speak in different tones, but even the way they addressed him was different.
The golden Xin addressed him as “Dijia” from the beginning, while the dark green Eros always addressed him as “Successor Lord God”!
Dijia hurriedly stood up and moved away from Eros in amazement.
Eros hesitated for a moment, remembering the advice his other self had given him at the temple. He suppressed his disgust and approached Dijia again, “What is wrong with you, Successor Lord God?”
It was the first time that the dark green god of love had touched him of his own accord, but Dijia only felt repulsion instead of excitement.
He rejected this touch as much as Eros rejected him.
Dijia suddenly burst into laughter, pulled away from Eros’ hand, and said calmly, “Please behave yourself, Eros.”
Eros was stunned, “But just now we……”
“How stupid of me! No wonder! No wonder it was so ……” Dijia laughed wildly.
Eros stood on the spot, a little dumbfounded.
Although he accepted his other self’s statement and believed that he was in love with Dijia, he once again involuntarily broke through his bonds when he “saw” his other self kissing Dijia with his body.
He only remembered his other self’s words after he had instinctively taken over the body.
Did he love the new Lord God?
If he did, then he should not run away. Such was the faith he spread to his followers. He held back his nausea and tried to kiss Dijia, even chasing after him as he fled. But he still felt very repulsed when he touched his body.
Eros stood hesitantly and apologized to the stirring Bai Lixin, [Let’s just switch over. I’m very sorry. I was instinctively repulsed. I won’t let it happen again.]
With that, Eros pulled his consciousness away and sank back into his mind. Bai Lixin regained possession of the body, but the atmosphere had been lost. He looked at Dijia, who was laughing wildly and felt nothing but despair.
I hope Dijia hadn’t noticed the abrupt change just now…
The dark clouds passed, and the moon reappeared in all its brightness.
The hazy white light spilled down into the house, bathing the two men in the moonlight.
Dijia’s eyes were crystal bright. He looked at Bai Lixin with a hint of unspoken joy as he hugged Bai Lixin and said, “It really is.”
Bai Lixin hugged Dijia back, and a thousand thoughts went through his mind when he had a sudden thought. He said with equal excitement, “You know?”
Dijia stroked Bai Lixin’s hair, “I don’t know why you didn’t tell me the truth, but I think I already know part of it.” Let me see the rest for myself.
Bai Lixin smiled and was about to speak when he lost consciousness.
Dijia followed Bai Lixin’s thoughts and into his heart. All of a sudden, countless vast memories crowded into his mind. The memories of desperate and ruthless moments, the memories of meeting him, after meeting him…everything! Memories like a vast universe entered Dijia’s mind, and he interpreted every second of them…..
It was already early the next morning when Bai Lixin woke up.
He was not in his room, but it was familiar. It was Dijia’s house.
Where is Dijia? What happened yesterday?
As he was wondering, there was the familiar sound of footsteps at the door, followed by Dijia pushing his way in.
In his hand was a steaming earthenware bowl, from which the sweet smell of rice escaped.
“You’re awake? Get up and eat something. ” Dijia placed the bowl on the table and undressed as if no one was watching.
How could one miss such an eye-catching image?
Bai Lixin pretended to be puzzled and asked, “What happened to me yesterday?” But his eyes took this opportunity to stare at Dijia’s body with impunity.
“You fainted from hunger.” Dijia turned around and walked towards Bai Lixin. He pointed to the inside of the bed, “My clothes are in there; bring them over.”
His athletic body was in full view, and Bai Lixin’s breath hitched as he stre4tched his hand out in a trance.
He touched a ball of clothing and handed it over without looking at it.
“Good.” Dijia smiled and rubbed Bai Lixin’s forehead before taking the clothes off and putting them on.
With his good figure covered, Bai Lixin showed a look of regret and stood up from the bed.
